After not visiting a dentist for over 10 years out of fear which I’d describe as a phobia I went to Nothing But The Tooth , from the lovely warm welcome from Louise at reception who straight away put me at ease with conversations to being fantastically looked after by Georgie the patient care coordinator who listened to all my concerns and worries to seeing my dentist who went over everything in great caring detail and made me feel relaxed and not at all judged, I had a great first experience and now look forward to starting my treatment and regaining my confidence in going the dentist

Nothing But the Tooth makes going to the dentist a good experience! Previous to booking with Celia I had not been to see a dentist for over 10 years due to an irrational fear verging on phobia. Celia calmed me down, explained everything she was doing and was so incredibly gentle and patient. I have been going to this practice for over 5 years now. My teeth and gums have recovered from my neglect and I feel no fear. If you are at all nervous, I cannot recommend this practice enough. From the warm smiling welcome from Louise on reception to the bright and relaxing decoration, you just feel comfortable.

Amazing dentist who I would recommend. Staff are excellent in their profession. I was very nervous about dentists until I came to Celia’s practice and am now looking forward to my next appointment.

I used to be terrified of the dentist – I think my first session with Celia it took me just under 45 minutes to get in the chair. Now, I've no issue going. Great staff, wonderfully understanding and I'd highly recommend to anyone. They're the only people I'll go to now.

Having been a really nervous patient, I now look forward to my visits to Celia and the rest of the team. Everyone is very gentle and it never hurts!

I hadn’t been to the dentist for 17 years because of my horrible fear of dentistry from childhood. In my first appointment, I just needed to get in the chair, and then Celia and I went from there. At Nothing But The Tooth they take their time, have a sense of humour and friendly professionalism, and they gradually build up trust, which really helped me. I’ve had crowns, fillings and inlays. I’m 75 and still have all my teeth, and my dental health is much better. I feel absolutely fine coming now - nothing stops me and I don’t cancel. Nothing bad has ever happened!

If you are a nervous patient looking to resolve your dental problems, as I was, I highly recommend this practice. They are very understanding, welcoming and professional. I would like to thank all concerned who work there who have helped me in my dental journey - they have been fantastic.

I was very nervous. I was on Diazepam just to get through the door. But, the first treatment I had with Celia, I came off the Diazepam. Celia vowed never to hurt me, and she hasn’t. I went from somebody that didn’t know how they were going to get in that chair, let alone have any work done, to having implants. It is the best thing I’ve ever done. It gave me my life back. I feel like a new person. I now smile! I would say to anybody considering dental treatment - do it! Don’t be frightened. Go for it and change your life!

I have always had brilliant care from everyone at Nothing But The Tooth, having been a patient there for at least 12 years and very happy to continue. At the start I was extremely nervous and anxious and now feel so much more comfortable knowing that I will be well cared for and have any procedures explained thoroughly with reassurance given. If you feel nervous this is definitely the dentist to go to.

For years I was nervous of visiting a dentist, then someone told me about Nothing But The Tooth. It was a revelation. From Louise on reception through to Celia and then Sarah the hygienist the experience is welcoming, completely relaxing and comfortable. Procedures are clearly explained, the emphasis is on maintaining healthy teeth. I actually enjoy my visits!

After 32 years of not visiting a dentist because of bad experiences and painful treatment my teeth were realy in a bad way, and i knew something had to be done. Somebody on http://www.dentalfearcentral.org/ recommended this site which is where i found Celia. After visiting her website, i e-mailed and received a lovely reply ,she even said i could make a free appointment just to meet the staff if i wanted.I drove past the surgery but at that point dare not go in but i had a gut feeling, something felt right and i made the decision to phone when i got home. It wasn't easy but i phoned and spoke to a lady called Sarah who realy gave me the reassurance that i was looking for. This first point of contact was a crucial stage as i'm easily put off and the slightest wrong word from her and i wouldn't be typing this review now. Obviously that didn't happen,i put down the phone confident i'd made the right decision...i'd made a new patient appointment !! So the day came and yes i was scared but also determined. I was welcomed by Sarah who made me a coffee then went through to the surgery to inform the dentist i had arrived. Celia then came into the waiting area and greeted me with a big smile, she was very pleasant and we sat in waiting area for 5 minutes or so drinking tea and coffee before venturing into the surgery to be greeted by Dental Nurse Laura. Celia asked if i'd like to go through with the examination and guarenteed it wouldn't hurt.She explained at all times what she going to do and what tools she was going to use.it didn't hurt and i walked out smiling. i even made an appointment to go back for 3 fillings. Even though i'd met Celia i was still frightened walking into the surgery as i couldn't see how she could guarentee no pain. Again she explained exactly what she was going to do and taked through the procedure as she was doing it. I can honestly say i never felt any pain whatsover,i didn't even feel the injection,might be hard for people reading this to believe that but it's true. The drilling was done for 3 seconds at a time with a breather inbetween. The whole procedure was all very relaxed, the radio was playing in background and Celia was either describing what she was doing or making friendly chat. I must just add that at no time did the chatting intefere with her work,she knows exactly what she's doing and made a perfect job of the fillings,all composites on front teeth and you can't even see where she's done it, brilliant. I know i've concentrated a lot on the attitude of the staff but i think this is very important for nervous people like myself who need that reassurance. you can also tell they are genuinely friendly. There is an atmosphere when you walk in the door, hard to describe but it's a realy nice feeling(never thought i'd say that about a dentist !) So to sum up, if you are looking for a dentist who is gentle,friendly,won't lecture you,and will definitely not hurt you i can certainly recommend Celia and the staff at Nothing But The Tooth. I do need a lot of work doing and have made 3 more appointments so far for extractions and fillings. These people are changing my life and i hope you will let them change yours too.
